Hello,
Im new here, and have been learning a lot reading through!
I just won a cheap sunbeam espresso machine off ebay, i think its a 4800 for fifty bucks, and Im wanting to make the most of it (until i leave uni and can upgrade...)
From reading around, it seems like i should
a) get a krups unpressurized 2 cup basket and seal
(part #0907163 - basket, #620342 - seal)
b) get a better flat tamper (what size/type do you recommend?)
c) get a good grinder (what is the best one for the cheapest that will do?)
d) keep fresh beans in airtight dark spot, not fridge..
Can anyone add anything to this, and or fill in the gaps/questions?
Any help would be great!!
Cheers,
R
